We are glad to publish bright little
poem tine first we have seen from the
Rev. J. T. Van Burkalow. We don't
inten! to make it the subject of criti-
cism except to say, that its writer has
exhibited considerable ingenuity in
making five lines written In trochaic
feet, rhyme in each verse. Any one
gifted even with poetic fire, will find 1t
a somewhat difficult task to preserve
unity of thought with good sense, and
have each terminal word of line
rhyme with four other lines. To do
this the Reverend writer has asserted
the poets license and coined a new
word "mldal." He intends it of course
as the adjectival termination for the
substantive Midas. We need not apollo
gize tor his coinage. Other writer's do
the same. And besides isn't the En-
glish language constantly growing in
volume and wealth OF expression
Necessity knows no law, but creates
many new words of its own both in prose
and verse. We gladly give place to
this little poetic bantling, and hope to
welcome others in the future.

The politician is an expert of assurance

industry depends on his interest.
He is like ST. Paul, because he sis all

He is like ball because he lies Oh all
sides.
He is like circus performer, because
he gains in the ring.
He is like harp, because he is mod
ern specimen of a Tyre.
He is like the Attic and the Autartic
circles because he Is to be found around
the polls.
He is like the iron man, because he
finds profit in steal.
He is like tele.raphIc lineman, be-

THIS is fast age tor newspapers.
The fast special train run by the New
York Herald over the Pennsylvania
Railroad every morning is one of the
most remarkable enterprises Of modern
journalism. Leoving Jersey City at
half past two o clock, it arrives in Phil
adelphla at 4 70, beating the time of
the Chicago Limited by eight minutes.
Resuming its journey, it dashes over
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore road at speed which often
reaches the rate OF sixty miles an hour.
At last it reaches the National Capita,
not only in time to supply the breakfast
tables of that city with the Metropolitan
news of the day, but also IN season to
connect with the morning mails for the
Southern States, which it ultimately
reaches on all average "a hours ahead
of any other northern paper.

IT is too often the case that our most
popular takers on temperance, hold
extremely impracticable ideas. They
are sincere in their convictions, earnest
in argument and positive in assertion,
still respect them as we may for their
honesty of conviction, they are to a
certain extent sentamentalists, rather
than practical opponents of practical
ideas. This is particularly the case with
many, and indeed with the most of the
prominent women who have taken the
platform on the question OF prohibition.
AS a sex, women have been and still
are, so fearfully punished by the evils of
drunkenness, that her emotional nature
is readily excited by any discussion
looking to the abolition of intoxicating
liquors. We know a number of talen
ted women who can stir the feelings to
theirprofoundest depths, by their touch
ing recitals Of the multiplied evils Of
rum drinking. Who can picture to
the meanest understanding vivid scenes
of suffering and degradation, which have
their exact counterpart in every day
life, all traceable to the common enemy
of the human race-Rum. When it
happens therefore that woman who
addresses public audiences, combines
the power of stirring the emotional
natures of her auditors, with strong
practical agumentative turn, she be-
comes power in any cause. And
this Is just the combination of powers
which distinguishes that popular Pro-
hibition advocate Mrs. f. J. Foster Of
Iowa, who spoke in Philadelphia last
week, and whose views we republish in
this issue. She states cogently and
convincingly the unanswerable objec-
tons against the wisdom and efficacy
of the third" party movement in be-
half of Prohibition. Her address in
Philadelphia made a marked impress
sion, and we regret our inability to re-
produce 1t entire.
